It is hard to believe today that Matisse was once almost universally reviled and ridiculed. His response was neither to protest
nor to retreat; he simply pushed on from one innovation to the next, and left the world to draw its own conclusions. Unfortunately,
these were generally false and often damaging. Throughout his life and afterward people fantasized about his models and circulated
baseless fabrications about his private life. Fifty years after his death, this biography shows us the painter as he saw himself.
With unprecedented access to new material, Spurling documents a lifetime of desperation and self-doubt. Here for the first
time is the truth about Matisse's models; but every woman who played a part in Matisse's life was remarkable in her own right,
not least his beloved daughter Marguerite, whose honesty and courage surmounted all ordeals, including interrogation and torture
by the Gestapo in the Second World War.--From publisher description

Annotation. Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso have long been seen as the twin giants of modern art, as polar opposites but also
as complementary figures. Between them they are the originators of many of the most significant innovations of 20th-century
painting and sculpture, but their relationship has rarely been explored in all of its closeness and complexity. In spite of
their initial rivalry, the two masters eventually acknowledged one another as equals, becoming, in their old age, increasingly
important to one another both artistically and personally. From the time of their initial encounters in 1906 in Gertrude and
Leo Stein's Paris studio until 1917, they individually produced some of the greatest art of the 20th century and maintained
an openly competitive relationship brimming with intense innovation. Matisse Picasso presents the artists' oeuvres in groupings
that reveal the affinities but also the extreme contrasts of their artistic visions. Published to accompany the landmark exhibition
(a joint effort of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Tate Modern, London; the Reunion des musees nationaux/Musee Picasso,
and the Musee national d'art moderne/Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris), Matisse Picasso is the first major examination of the
fascinating relationships between their art, their careers, and their lives. Thirty-four essays, each by a member of the exhibition's
curatorial team, focus on a particular moment in the artists' evolving relationship. These texts are accompanied by an introductory
history, commentary on the public perception of important artistic relationships, and an extensive chronology

Hneri Matisse (1869-1954) is known not only as one of the most important French painters of the 20th century but also as a
co-founder and leading exponent of Fauvism. (The style of les Fauves --French for "the wild beasts" -- a loose group of early
twentieth-century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or
realistic values retained by impressionism.) His work reflects an ongoing quest for the expressive power of pure, brilliant
colors and simple forms; as a result, the realistic presentation of nature often retires to a secondary position. As a creative
artist, Matisse was not only a painter, but also experimented with other materials; he produced glass windows ad theatre designs
and created significant sculptures in bronze, ceramic and clay. In old age, confined to a wheelchair, he reated collages with
coloured paper, glue and scissors: his famed gouache cut-outs

This book examines the working method, experimental techniques, and compositional choices Matisse used in works created between
1913 and 1917. The works that Henri Matisse (1869-1954) executed between late 1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding,
experimental, and enigmatic. Often sharply composed, heavily reworked, and dominated by the colors black and gray, these compositions
are rigorously abstracted and purged of nearly all descriptive detail. Although they have typically been treated as unrelated
to one another, as aberrations within the artist's oeuvre, or as singular responses to Cubism or World War I, this book reveals
the deep connections among them

The extraordinary significance of the painter and sculptor Henri Matisse in the history of modern art, but also his influence,
was no less decisive than that of his main rival, Pablo Picasso. Matisse is widely acknowledged as an artist whose canvases
are extremely difficult to reproduce in print. With this in mind, each work presented here has been painstakingly compared
with the respective original, in close collaboration with the artist's grandson, Claude Duthuit. The bard of color deserves
no less -- Provided by publisher

This volume traces the career of Henri Matisse from the Fauve paintings of the 1907 Salon d'Automne to the final flowering
of his paper cut-outs, culminating in his masterpiece, the Vence Chapel. Along the way, the author describes the full range
of Matisse's paintings, sculpture, book illustrations, and paper cut-outs with visual sensitivity and a keen knowledge of
technique. At times, the author seems to pause to look at specific masterpieces in all their complexity--The Dinner Table,
Le Bonheur de vivre, and Luce, calme et volupe, among many others. He also shows us how Matisse responded to the artistic,
political, and social events of his day, from Cubism to the two World Wars
